InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 0.5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable InLine LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 0.5m is a short-range multimode fiber patch cable designed for high-density network environments. It combines an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, with a 50/125µm core/cladding geometry and OM5 graded-index multimode fiber. The 0.5 m length is intended for equipment interconnects in racks, switches, and patch panels where minimal cable slack and low insertion loss are required.

Advantages

This OM5 duplex cable supports full duplex communication and is optimized for short-wavelength division multiplexing, enabling higher aggregate bandwidth in multimode deployments. The 50/125µm core size ensures compatibility with common multimode transceivers and provides low attenuation and modal dispersion for typical data center distances. The mixed LC-to-SC connector configuration offers flexible connectivity between devices with different interface types while maintaining consistent optical performance.

How to use

Locate the appropriate LC and SC ports on the devices to be connected and ensure both equipment ports are powered down or in a maintenance state if required by your operational procedures. Remove protective dust caps from each connector before insertion. Align the LC duplex connector with the LC port and gently push until it latches; repeat for the SC connector into the SC port. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends (maintain bend radius recommended by the manufacturer) and secure it to avoid strain on connectors. After installation, check optical link status and perform loss or continuity tests as part of commissioning.
